Aren’t you amazed when you meet people who aren’t on Facebook? You squeal at them, “You’re not on Facebook?!” You shake your head and wonder whether they might be Amish. At the very least, you’re sure they’re still using a VCR.
These days, not having a Facebook profile is like not having a telephone. Imagine – not being able to track your third grade boyfriend’s progress on his virtual farm. Ridiculous.
Ok, so maybe we’re a little obsessed with FB, but we’re not the only ones. And it’s not all just Bejeweled Blitz and status updates we’re interested in. Facebook is filled with ads and invitations and marketing opportunities that have the potential to reach over 350 million active users with 50% of them logging on everyday. One of the most popular ways is by using a Fan Page. It’s a super simple, fill-in-the-blanks process that you can have up and running in less than thirty minutes. (Of course, you’d want to spend a little more time than that ) And. IT’S FREE!
Now, as if that’s not enough, here are some more reasons you should be taking advantage of Facebook Fan Pages:
1. Fan Pages are automatically indexed in Google. Not only will you have access to Facebook users, but you’ll be listed in the world’s most popular search engine – in most cases you’ll be on the first page!
2. There’s no limit to the number of Fan Pages you can create. Make a Fan Page for every business you have, every product you sell, and every event you want to promote. The possibilities, as they say, are endless!
3. Easily share messages with your entire fan base. Update your status using photos, videos, links or as an invitation that will be listed on every fan’s Facebook calendar.
Upload photos, advertise business hours and location, take advantage of the free message board … it’s pretty amazing. Plus, whenever your fans are active on your Fan Page, their actions will be noted on their personal News Feed, which in turn reaches all of their friends! The potential for growing your customer base is unbelievable. FOR FREE!
The Facebook Fan Page, just face it, you really can’t go wrong.

Very good. I was amazed a few months ago when I met a sales person who said she doesn't do any social networking. I almost tested to see if she had a pulse.
